Splendid in bag

Although Du Xiangxuan kept his words polite, Lewis could easily tell from his tone that Du Xiangxuan didn't like that woman.

Lewis only said: "A former classmate? Are you also from Tianhan Girls' High School?"

Du Xiangxuan nodded.

Lewis said: "That should be a girl who can read well. I believe she has the same grace as you."

Du Xiangxuan didn't want to say too much at first, but when she heard Lewis's praise of the girl, she felt annoyed and said, "She is amazing, I can't compare."

It became increasingly clear to Lewis that the woman who was on a blind date with his brother might not be very likable.At least, this woman does not please Du Xiangxuan.

Generally speaking, in any social occasion, if Lewis finds that the other person doesn't like the topic being discussed, he will immediately transfer it.However, at this time, Lewis didn't want to change the subject, and just wanted to continue probing rudely: "Since you haven't contacted her for a long time, how did you know that she and my brother are on a blind date?"

Du Xiangxuan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I heard what another old classmate said."

She quickly remembered the embarrassing scene.

It was in a restaurant, Du Xiangxuan had lunch alone, but happened to run into an old classmate.That old classmate looked at Du Xiangxuan carefully, as if he was looking at a discounted item, and said in a disdainful tone: "Oh, I heard that the blind date between you and the young master of the Liu family was unsuccessful, right? Wha's name is Xue Caiying. She is very social, she pulls a bunch of girls into her small group, and often ridicules and bullies those girls who don’t like to dress up and have good grades. She can dress up herself, and she is also very beautiful. When she was studying, many people chased her. Du Xiangxuan alone Sitting at the round table, I remembered the days when I was bullied by Xue Caiying's small group.

At that time, she complained to her mother.Mother said: "You don't need to pay attention to this kind of superficial woman. If she puts her mind on heresy, she will definitely not be able to get into a good school. But if you are so good, you will definitely be a hundred times better than her in the future. At that time, she will I can only look up to you, and you won't care about her anymore."

Du Xiangxuan also continued to study hard with this idea in mind.She successfully entered the business school of the famous Ivy League school in the United States. However, she found that Xue Caiying also entered the Ivy League because her family has money and connections.

After graduating, Du Xiangxuan went to work in a very good investment company, and Xue Caiying also took the position of "boss" in the family business. She only showed her face during meetings. She didn't usually go to work, but she still earned a million dollars a year.

Now, Xue Caiying has found a good partner, but Du Xiangxuan can't ask for it.

In short, everything is not as mother said.

Du Xiangxuan's efforts seemed ridiculous in comparison.

"I heard that she and your brother are already on a second date," Du Xiangxuan told Lewis in an indifferent tone to conceal her jealousy and unhappiness, "she is really a lucky girl."

Lewis nodded lightly. He really felt the loss and exhaustion in Du Xiangxuan's tone, so he couldn't bear to continue this topic.

Lewis usually went back to his room first when he got home, but today, he went to the wine cellar downstairs first.

As he expected, Hughes was drinking alone in the wine cellar.

This seems to be the habit of Hughes for many years.

Lewis tried to recall, since when did Hughes drink alone here from evening to evening?

If you think about it carefully, you will remember it quickly.

Because that's a big day.

It was the day after Hughes kicked Lao Liu out of the board of directors.

Sitting in the wine cellar, Hughes said to Lao Liu with a mocking smile: "This wine cellar will be mine from now on. Please don't come in."

Old Liu's bull-like eyes stared round, and the eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes.

He didn't sleep at all the night before, drinking in the wine cellar.

He couldn't figure out why his son turned against him.

"Why?" Old Liu murmured with his eyes wide open, "Why? Why?"

Hughes sneered, "Because I like to drink alone."

This is Hughes' answer.

Old Liu didn't want to understand, but he always understood a fact.

Just like a lion pride, the male lion in charge of the pride will grow old.The cub has always been tame, but when it grows strong muscles and sharp teeth, it will immediately become rebellious, and is bound to challenge the position of the old lion.

This is an imperative challenge.

It has nothing to do with whether the old lion raised the cubs, and whether the cubs respected the old lions.

The winner is king.

Old Liu actually quickly understood Hughes' "rebellious" behavior, because he put himself in Hughes' position, and believed that he would also want to seize full control of the company as soon as possible.

Although he understands, he doesn't forgive.

Humans are not lions after all.

Lao Liu also hated this son's ruthlessness.

He staggered up the stairs and out of the wine cellar.

At this time, he met Lewis head-on.

Lewis was about to walk into the wine cellar, and asked Old Liu, "Did something happen, father?"

Seeing Lewis's face similar to Hughes, Lao Liu became angry, and raised his voice and said, "Didn't you hear? Just now your brother said that this wine cellar belongs to him only from now on! He likes to drink alone! No one is allowed to go in." I advise you not to go, lest you suffer his ridicule in vain!"

Lewis did obey Lao Liu's words and did not step into the wine cellar.

However, Lewis also tried to enter the wine cellar later, and met Hughes at the same time, but he was not taunted or expelled by Hughes.

Therefore, Lewis felt that it was just Lao Liu's high-spirited speech, which was not true.

However, when Hughes tasted wine alone, he did exude an inaccessible and lonely atmosphere.

Lewis looked at Hughes and asked, "Did I bother you?"

"No." Hughes smiled, "Sit down, just have a drink with me."

Lewis looked at the red wine in the glass with little interest.

Hughes asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Generally speaking, Lewis would say "red wine is fine, don't worry about it" at this time.But now for some reason, Lewis actually replied: "I kind of want to drink Irish coffee."

Hughes was also slightly startled when he heard this.

Lewis, too, felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.

"Okay," Hughes smiled quickly, "but my bartending skills are really bad."

"No, the last drink was good." Lewis replied with a smile.

The last time was many years ago.

But using the word "last time" makes it seem like it was only yesterday.

As if only yesterday, the childish Lewis was still wrapped in a blanket and fell asleep beside Hughes.

Hughes also liked the way Lewis was talking now.

Hughes didn't fail to notice that the relationship between him and Lewis was always lukewarm.Hughes believes that this is because Lewis has never loved this family and has always wanted to hide away, but because of blood ties, Lewis often hides and has to come back to live for a while, and when he can't stand it again Leave, so back and forth.Hughes is a part of this "family", so naturally, Lewis can't avoid it, but it's unavoidable.

Now when Lewis utters the five words "Irish coffee", it is different.

He looked like he was willing to get close to him.

This satisfied Hughes more than anything else.

Speaking of which, the last time was also the last time Hughes bought Irish coffee.He didn't know how to do this thing at all. He learned it temporarily at the bar at the airport, and now he has forgotten all about it.But since Lewis said so, Hughes would rather be beheaded than say "I won't do it".So, Hughes had no choice but to bite the bullet, poured half a cup of coffee and half a cup of whiskey, stirred vigorously twice, and even splashed the cuffs of his haute couture shirt.

Lewis saw Hughes' clumsiness.

This is quite a rare thing.

He actually saw the word "clumsy" in Hughes, who had always been calm and elegant.

Therefore, when Lewis realized that he forgot to add sugar to this cup, he couldn't bear to remind him, so he took a sip, and his mouth was full of sour and bitter taste.

Hughes still asked a little nervously: "Is it okay?"

Lewis swallowed a sip of the mixture of espresso and high-purity whiskey, bitter from the tip of his tongue to the root of his tongue, but replied with a smile: "Well, it's pretty good."
